Things we liked:

The synths on the Yamaha S90Xs are superb and extremely versatile. The board comes fully equpt with a staggering 6779 arpeggio patterns and more than enough quality drum patterns to boot.

The software programmer is easy to navigate using a little initiative. I had no trouble figuring it out. You will want to make use of this a lot as it really is the simplest way to program your synthesizer.

As for programming itself, those familiar with earlier models will be pleased to know that the Yamaha S90XS has many more features, buttons and functions to play around with. In fact, it’s kind of addictive…

s90XS picThis baby really does perform great live. After a few patches and alterations, mainly to pump up the clavs (which is in no way needed – I just have my own way!) I was ready for a test drive. I found myself finding a natural feel to using this piano straight away and the sound was really quite amazing. I think next time I may slap on a bit more reverb, but again, that’s just how I roll. Check out the demonstration on the video page to see it in action.

Things we did not like:

The display on this thing is a little on the small side. Surpringly though this wasn’t the issue I had with it. The positioning of the display means that if you use a multi-tiered stand as I do, you may find yourself craning your neck at times to get a decent view. I easily solved this however by keeping the S90SX on top (I know, I’m a genius right?)

Having to use the software programmer more due to slight quirks in the device mechanics in order to apply my all-too-geeky patches. This isn’t a problem for me really, I can just be set in my ways at times and computers scare me a little…

Guarantee:

In most cases, musical instruments purchased from Amazon and most of their sellers can be returned and refunded in 30 days of receipt of the item.

Make sure that it is still in the condition it was when you received it and in the original packaging. Pay close attention to any changes to any of this information on the Amazon website.

Is it worth the money?

I would say that the Yamaha S90XS is really good value for money. It’s a gorgeous instrument and I am very glad to have used one.
